Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 293, Section 290. Mountain Temple?

It is in this remote village on the edge of the wilderness, at the gate of the Xu family courtyard.

The blood left behind by the white ape and the other demon monkeys when they died had already dried up, turning a dark purple color...

The air still emanated the unpleasant smell of blood...

The black blood on the ground, mixed with dust... and traces of fighting, still showed that it had been through a bloody scene...

The blood stains need to be cleaned up.

But there was no time to clean up.

The entire courtyard was deserted and empty.

In fact, before the white ape caused chaos, villagers came to the Xu family's door every day, either to flatter Xu Binghu, or to watch Xu Ran practice, or to take a look at the incredible peregrine falcon.

But now...

Everything has changed.

When the white ape was causing trouble, the villagers' words had left a lingering bitter taste in their mouths. They were too embarrassed to visit again, feeling ashamed...

therefore.

At this moment.

Xu Ran sat cross-legged on a huge rock in the backyard, a faint white aura emanating from his body, and golden runes appeared on all the visible parts of his body.

These runes exude an ancient and mysterious aura.

One light, one dark, one light, one dark, one light, one dark.
With steady breathing, Xu Ran's body was like a sun that sometimes shined well and sometimes not. Even at this time when the sun was shining brightly, it was still dazzling, as if it had taken away all the sunlight.

This state lasted for several minutes, and a ball of white liquid flowed out from his seven orifices. His eyes became solemn, and then his mind moved, and the golden runes that appeared on the surface of his body directly separated from his body.

One after another, mysterious golden runes that seemed to exist from time immemorial danced around Xu Ran like elves, constantly exchanging positions, sometimes turning into words, sometimes turning into runes that exuded an ancient aura, looking extremely magical.

"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"

And just as these golden runes were floating in the air, the spiritual energy in this world showed signs of being about to boil. In an instant, all these mysterious runes merged together and turned into a golden vortex. An aura that could devour everything spread out, swallowing up all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth!

"This rune actually has such a terrifying devouring ability!!"

Xu Ran looked expectantly at the rune that turned into a golden vortex, and then his hands suddenly changed hand seals, and a childish shout came out of his mouth.

"Suck it for me!"

As Xu Ran's handprints changed, the golden vortex, which was originally only half a meter in size, expanded at an extremely fast speed, suddenly expanding several times. In just a short moment, it turned into a vortex that was three meters in size, slowly spreading out above Xu Ran's head.

Suddenly.

All the spiritual energy in the entire Great Wilderness Village swept towards this golden vortex, and disappeared in just a few breaths.

all of a sudden.

No one in the entire Dahuangbian Village knew what had happened. They just felt that the extremely rich spiritual energy in the air disappeared in an instant.

"What's going on? My body can't absorb any spiritual energy?"

"I just came back from the mountains and was trying to recover my spiritual energy. How come it's gone all of a sudden?"

Someone looked up and saw a huge golden vortex in the direction of the Xu family.

"Look, there's a huge golden vortex above the Xu family."

"I feel that all the spiritual energy is heading towards that golden vortex!"

"How could the Xu family do this? They don't even leave us any spiritual energy?"

Suddenly, everyone looked at the person who spoke with a teasing look in their eyes.

"How about you go to the Xu family and teach them a lesson?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the person who spoke turned red instantly.

It was obvious that this was the Xu family's revenge for their previous actions. If this continued every day, all the spiritual energy would be absorbed. Even if they had the [Body Refining Secret Book], it would be of no use without spiritual energy cultivation.

In the long run, I'm afraid that the body cultivators in other villages will be stronger than them.

"This is not a solution. Why don't we go and apologize to the Xu family?" someone suggested.

Someone proposed it, and then others agreed.

"We were wrong in this matter, and we should apologize!"

"Master Xu is very generous and won't bother with us!"

"After all, Xu Binghu grew up in Dahuangbian Village. Our village helped a lot with his wedding to Lian Ji!"

"Yes!"

"Why don't you go and talk to Mr. Qi about this matter?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the white-haired old man sitting on the armchair.

When the white ape entered the village, only Old Qi stepped forward to stop it, and he refused to hand over Xu Ran from beginning to end. Xu Binghu and Lian Ji saw this, and if he stepped forward, there might be a glimmer of hope.

"Squeak!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qi held the handrail and slowly stood up.

"Alas!" He turned and looked at everyone, "I'm not that proud!"

Xu family courtyard.

The golden vortex floating above Xu Ran's head swallowed up all the spiritual energy nearby, and his body emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire yard.

Xu Ran's body was slowly sucked into the air by the golden vortex.

Then, a stream of white energy overflowed from the center of the vortex, and then slowly flowed onto Xu Ran's body below, forming a white sphere that completely enveloped him.

at the same time.

There were constant "crackling" sounds coming from Xu Ran's body, like the sound of bone marrow breaking. Upon closer inspection, inside Xu Ran's body, gurgling white liquid was overflowing from his bones and flowing through his entire body. For a moment, he felt a warmth coming from his body.

Feeling the warmth flowing out of his body, Xu Ran couldn't help but take a breath.

Unexpectedly, the bone marrow absorbed from the giant white jade bone had not been completely absorbed, but was stored in the body. If it were not for this practice, the mysterious golden rune would have appeared and forced all the bone marrow out of his body, and it would be unknown when it would be completely absorbed.

"Crack!"

Just when Xu Ran was shocked by this, the white bone marrow had already spread to every part of his body. A mysterious power once again swept through his body. Xu Ran had never felt this power before.

"This power is so familiar, yet so strange?" Xu Ran felt a little strange. This power was extremely ancient, and it might be comparable to the power of ancient times.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This power comes from that giant white jade bone!!"

Now, Xu Ran finally remembered where the power sweeping through his body came from. It was the power in the giant white jade bone that he had just absorbed.

Just as he figured it out, this white power instantly covered his entire body. The moment Xu Ran's skin came into contact with this white power, there was a sizzling sound, like barbecue.

Sure enough, this power was not obtained for nothing.

This white aura is indeed powerful, mysterious and ancient, but it is not so easy to obtain. When I absorbed the power of the bone marrow before, I was wrapped in a purple sphere, which is similar to the situation this time. Last time, it came from external danger, and this time, it came from my own postgraduate entrance examination.

Under the excruciating pain that burned everything, Xu Ran could only grit his teeth, and the child's body also tensed up.

“Bang—bang—bang—”

In an instant, bursts of explosion sounds came from Xu Ran's body. The white bone marrow overflowing from his bones continued to destroy his body. If one could see inside Xu Ran's body, one would see that there was no intact bone on his body. All the bones were like a hornet's nest, which looked extremely terrifying.

"Hold on! Once you get through this, there will be a bright road ahead!" Xu Ran kept encouraging himself. This feeling was extremely painful.

“Bang—bang—bang—”

Another round of explosions sounded from within the body. The white aura like a raging fire penetrated into the already broken bones. Xu Ran's body seemed to be buried in a sea of ​​fire, suffering from this endless flame. Then, a burning sensation was born from within the body. Muscles, bones, and internal organs were all suffering from this endless torture. The whole person seemed to be burned to ashes.

"The Holy Body of the Innate Saint!"

Feeling the endless torture coming from his body, Xu Ran clenched his teeth, and endless innate energy flowed out from the ocean of his spirit, and began to repair the broken areas continuously. The burning sensation then dissipated a little, and he had some time to breathe.

The power of the bone marrow continued to flow in the body. Although this feeling brought great pain, in the endless burning, wherever the white bone marrow passed, it became extremely tough. A powerful force continued to surge, like a volcano, which could erupt at any time.

at this time.

The golden vortex floating above his head began to slowly shrink, which meant that Xu Ran's training was nearing its end.

After a while, the golden vortex completely dissipated.

Suddenly.

Xu Ran opened his eyes, and a faint golden light appeared in his eyes, with a hint of red. It was extremely hidden, but if you look closely, you can see it.

At the same time, his aura at this moment had a hint of antiquity.

"Wow!!"

At this time, the peregrine falcon spread its wings, quickly descended from the sky, and came to Xu Ran's side. It kept rubbing Xu Ran's body with its feathers, while strange light continued to emit from its eyes.

This light is like encountering a rare treasure.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ran asked, looking at the Peregrine Falcon's strange look.

Peregrine Falcon came in front of Xu Ran and looked him up and down. Then, a faint blood-colored aura emanated from his body, forming a huge Kunpeng phantom behind him.

This phantom also has an aura from ancient times.

"You mean, there is such an aura in my body?" Xu Ran asked.

Peregrine nodded.

Now, Xu Ran finally understood. No wonder the peregrine falcon's behavior was a little strange just now. It turned out that it was sensing the ancient aura in his body.

It absorbed the [Blood Kunpeng Grass] and had a trace of [Kunpeng Bloodline] in its body. Kunpeng was the lord of birds of prey and the king of monsters in ancient times, so it would naturally be attracted by such an aura.

"Doesn't this mean that the owner of the giant white jade bone was from the same period as Kunpeng?" Xu Ran guessed in his heart.

Even if it is not from the same period as Kunpeng, it at least belongs to the ancient period. Even in the late ancient period, it is extremely powerful.

"What exactly is this strange village that Dad accidentally entered before?"

"Why is there such a place in this remote area where there is not even a complete cultivation system?"

"Then, could it be that the Snake King is sleeping here because this place is so strange?"

For a moment, three questions arose in Xu Ran's mind.

After thinking for a moment, he didn't gain anything and shook his head.

"Forget it. There's too little information right now, and I have no idea what the secrets are!" He then looked towards the mountains. "If I could get into that strange village once, maybe I could uncover some of its secrets!"

"what?"

Suddenly, there was some confusion in Xu Ran's eyes. He looked towards the direction of the mountains. The giant trees there kept falling down, and hundreds of birds of prey flew out of them, as if they were fleeing from that place. He had never seen such a thing before!
"What happened in the mountains? Monsters cut down trees? Are they using them to build houses?"

at the same time.

The four guardians, jackal, wolf, tiger and leopard, carried the sedan chair with both hands and walked slowly with heavy steps.

Every step you take leaves a shallow footprint on the ground.

General Hu was still lying leisurely on the sedan chair as he was at the beginning, but the only difference was that there were a lot of bloodstains on the sedan chair.

Look around.

I saw that the tall trees around me kept falling down, and the monsters following them kept cutting down all the giant trees blocking the way ahead, and they forcibly created a road for them in the densely jungled mountains.

On both sides of the road, there were corpses of dozens of monsters. Even the corpses exuded a terrifying aura. It seemed that they all had the same cultivation level as the white ape.

Along the way, Tiger Da killed all those who blocked his way. Moreover, with just one move, no monster survived. His terrifying strength swept across the mountains.

There was no other way, the weak monsters could only follow behind it, letting it do its bidding and continuing to chop down trees.

It was in the dense forest five miles away from General Hu and his men.

In this dense forest, there is a hillside several tens of meters high. On the hillside, there is a dilapidated old temple. This old temple is leaking everywhere, and there are only two racks of red lanterns hanging on the eaves.

There was no Buddha statue in the old temple, only a dusty tablet with the words written on it.

Mountain God - protects every hunter who enters the mountains.

Obviously, this is an old temple dedicated to hunters, but no one has taken care of it for a long time.

This place is located on the outskirts of the mountains and was specially dedicated by hunters who went into the mountains to hunt.

Sudden.

The hillside that was tens of meters high suddenly shook, and two ferocious rays of light emerged from the top of the hillside, like two eyes.

Suddenly, the ground shook.
